For me 2011 was a good year. So let me try and sum it up.

I became a grand-parent twice over this year. Both boys and both healthy and happy. I look forward to spoiling them over and over again.

I traveled to Miami Beach, Las Vegas, Saratoga, Bermuda, Orlando and minor visits to Hartford, and Philadelphia plus skied in Hunter Mountain and the Berkshires

I attended the following concerts Bryan Adams, Jon Anderson, Crosby and Nash, Eric Burden, Peter Frampton, Stone Temple Pilots, Steely Dan, attended MusikFest, Blues Fest, and Steel Jam plus countless cover bands.

I thought I'd go out less in 2011 than 2010 but that didn't happen. I went out a total of 70 times vs 58 in 2010. Not sure how long my old body can do it. But I learned a new saying from an older gentleman this year that I tend to embrace. It's "Cover the World Before it Covers You".

I did take less pictures this year, especially in the bars, clubs and restaurants. I've learned to embrace the moment and quality time with others rather than whip out my camera. Unfortunately some of my best moments are just memories for me (alone). And I have to say I had some real good times this year.

With regards to my website and other related news: At the end of the year I'm up to September and have 20 more dates to add to the website. Good news, bad news here. Bad news is I'm once again behind with my website. The good news there's 20 more pages to look forward to and like I once told someone who questioned why I'm always behind, I said " it's new to you, enjoy it". I also joined the Youtube world and have 20 videos up and running. Still on a learning curve.

2012: Continue to work and juggle my party time and keep up with spending time with good friends and bond with my grand-children. To lose weight. I have that yo-yo effect going each year. Luckily I can lose the weight when I put my mind to it. My goal is to lose 10 lbs in this year.

I enjoyed most of the friends and acquaintances I've communicated with this year and look forward to the same in 2012.
